How to make a purchase.
For the moment, we offer two payment methods: Credit card through PayPal, and check/cash. If you have a PayPal account, you may purchase that way. If you do not have a PayPal account, you may still use your credit card by way of PayPal's credit card gateway. The PayPal payment page will ask you if you want to set up an account, but it is your choice. PayPal is an Ebay company and is the number one trusted online payment service.
In the future as we grow, we intend to offer our own credit card gateway.
We do accept cash and checks. However, it is risky to send cash through the mail and must be received before items are shipped. Just as with cash, checks must be received and must clear before the items are shipped. Yet once again, the choice is yours.How the Artisans get paid.
If you choose to add your selections to your shopping cart via the "Add to cart" button, your payment will be routed to WVMM and we will forward it on to the Artisan. WVMM does not take a cut from your purchase price, so your entire payment goes to the Artisan. Using your shopping cart, you can purchase more than one item from more than one Artisan, all in one payment. However, some of the Artisans have their own PayPal accounts, which will be noted in the item description, and will include a link directly to the Artisan's PayPal gateway. In this instance, you will be paying the Artisan directly and may be able to buy only that item with a single PayPal checkout procedure. How you get your items. As stated on our shipping page, shipping methods vary according to the type of item or items purchased and will be noted in each item’s description. Items you order here generally are shipped from the Artisan's location, and not necessarily directly from WVMM. This will also be noted in the item description. A Word About Pricing...
Prices at WVMM are set by each Artisan for his or her own work, and not by WVMM. Artisans whose works are available at Tamarack are bound by their agreement with Tamarack not to undersell on the prices of their items available there. Therefore, prices here will not be below those of Tamarack. |
